“If you watch the last UFC, this is something nobody knows, the Mirko Cro Cop fight that was on Spike last week - he got kneed in the balls, he went down and said to “Big” John McCarthy, “I’m too old for this shit.” and Big John said “No man you’re fine, you’re fine.” and he goes, “No I should just quit right now.” He said this while he was down and Big John goes, “If you want to quit just let me know and he said no, no I don’t.” So he had 5 minutes to recover and said he was too old for this.”

The UFC signed Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic to a lucrative two year, six-fight contract in December 2006. At the time, Cro Cop was on top of the world winning the PRIDE Open Weight Grand Prix which consisted of him defeating Wanderlei Silva and Josh Barnett in the same night to earn the tournament belt.

Since joining the ranks of the UFC heavyweight division Cro Cop has been a total disappointment. He was victorious in his debut defeating Eddie Sanchez by TKO. Since then he has dropped two straight fights, a vicious high kick knockout loss to Gabriel Gonzaga and a decision loss to Cheick Kongo.

I will tell you this right now Mirko &#8220CroCop&#8221 Filipovic is by far my fav MMA fighter always has been since the first time I seen him fight until now even comming off of the 2 loses I don&#8217t even know where to begin there are people out there that claim to know things about MMA and everything about the fighters but most people could not even tell you why they call him CROCOP or better yet most people prob think that CROCOP is Mirko&#8217s last name and it&#8217s horrible cause most causal UFC fans don&#8217t even know that he is one of the Greatest of All Time never really did hold a belt in either K-1 beside a Grand Prix Tourny WIN in 1999 I believe but that&#8217s because Ernesto Hoost always had his number or Pride besides the 2006 Open Weight Grand Prix and that&#8217s because Fedor always had his number and if Fedor didn&#8217t have hand surgery he would have won for all I am concerned CROCOP is CROCOP he will go down in history as one of the most feared strikers in MMA history if not the best striker in MMA history I mean who else out there before CROCOP used there leg to kick people&#8217s head off more then their own hands it&#8217s insane I believe the injury to CROCOP&#8217s nose has played a big deal in his stamina watch out for him in 08 he will def be back in the running for the UFC TITLE he has fought 3 fights in the UFC he has 3 more on his contract we will see Mirko CroCop Filipovic fight 3 more times and that&#8217s a wrap he is about to be done with his term in the croatian parliament term and he is going back to AT J LUCKO as a Head Commander and I am sorry DOPe_SacK Fedor will beat Mirko 9 times out of 10 all day everyday and it&#8217s hard to say that cause Mirko is my fav fighter.

It’s funny how fast people jump ship. When Mirko (CROCOP) Fillapovic is winning, he is everyone’s favorite fighter. When he looses 2 fights in an unfamiliar setting, he sucks. That man is one of the most devastating strikers on the planet. He will get his head together and destroy someone’s head with his left high kick. Then once again, he will be your hero. In addition, as much as I like Fador I think he is afraid to put up his record against anyone who he may loose against. I like him but if you saw the fight against Matt lindland and how he was split open right off the bat and held on the rope to save his ass from the take down you can see that he is a man not a machine. He can and will be defeated just as soon as they stop feeding him bodies to devourer. PS… Poop (how appropriate) is a very sorry uneducated sack of Raciest piece of $hit. Step in to the ring and tell CROCOP he sucks. They will find your head later that night when they are sweeping up the aisle.

Cro Cop Filipovic Is THe Best Striker In WORLD u Idiots. THE ONLY REASON HE DIDNT DEFEAT KONGO IS BECAUSE HE KNEED HIM IN THE GROIN 3 TIMES AND MACARTHY DIDNT TAKE POINTS AWAY FROM THAT UGLY APE. ON ANY GIVEN DAY CRO COP CAN DEFEAT ANY ONE SO FUCK FEDOR. FEDOR DIDNT SIGN TO THE UFC BECAUSE HE DOESNT WANT TO LOSE IN A REAMTCH TO THE CRAOTION SENSATION AKA POR WRESTELER HUNTER MIRKO CRO COP YOU BITCHES!!!!!!!!

Posted by DOPe_SacK on 2007-10-28 22:25:55

Cro cop isnt gone u idiots. and he wouldnt instantly beat arlovski if it went to the ground because arlovski&#8217s main style is sambo you twit, that means that he is an expert with submissions especially leg submissions. And of course he said im to old for this, the guy has to train and on tap of that the guy is in the fkn croatian parliament. and POOP no their is no black revolution happening im MMA so no need to cum in ur panties OK. oh and yeah fedor is the greatest mma fighter . BITCH!

I used too likeing cro cop but he is this is not fighter anymore. Sorry english not so good but cro cop no cant even beat his own meat. Ha ha, thats funny.

I do have to agree with you on that one D-rock Dizzle Jones for all the CROCOP HATERS out there this happens to the best of fighters look at all the greats out there they have lost fights like this I will not even to begin to name countless future hall of famers to fall in the slump CROCOP is in right now this next fight against whoever they put him against will tell ALL he still has 3 fights on his contract and 1 of 3 things can happen 1. He wins his next fight and want to pursue the next two fights on his contract before he goes back to A J LUCKO Croatian Anti Terroist Group A.K.A ( Special Police Force) or 2. He loses his next fight and Retires (WHICH I HOPE DOES NOT HAPPEN) or 3. He loses his next fight and UFC Drops his Contact because they spent alot of $ on him and he is not producing but I don&#8217t think that will happen cause even if he were to lose his next fight and all real MMA FANS not bandwagon jumpers will know how great of a fighter he still is and always will be BEST STIKER TO EVER FIGHT IN MMA in my opinion note I said STRIKER not Fighter that would go to FEDOR on the otherhand I DISAGREE with you D-rock Dizzle Jones on him Destroying ARLOVSKI who thought he was going to get killed by NAPO&#8217s Douche Bag Ass and then by Kongo I think ARLOVSKI when on his game is better then both of them fighers now don&#8217t get me wrong I like CROCOP in a fight against ARLOVSKI but it would be very close and other one could win Via KO they are both strikers who like to stand up it would only go to the ground if CROCOP took it there and many people don&#8217t relize CROCOP is trained by the 2nd best BBJ Fighter in the world right now and that mans name is Fabricio Werdum 2nd to NOG that is he just does not like to fight on the ground cause he is a STRIKER so we will just have to wait and see I say put him up against SYLVIA and watch TIM get his ass kicked and Fuk Canadians if it wasn&#8217t for U.S.A you all would be NOTHING you do have great FRIES though lol PZ. CROCOP is my Fav Fighter Bitches.

Good points “Miko”, but I have to disagree with your point that everyone loves Canadians. The fact that your mother entertains multiple Canadian men throughout the night does not mean *everyone* loves them; she’s just a whore. But I wouldn’t try to speak for you; you apparently like “Nuts”...on your chin.

Cro-Cop doesn&#8217t want it as bad as he use to. He&#8217s still a great fighter&#8230and is still considered one of the top heavyweights in the world of MMA. He broke a rib in the first round and if u watch the fight closely in round 2 he got kneed in the nuts 2 times and in round 3 he got kneed inthe nuts again for the 2nd time twice. He had the right game plan in round 1 by putting the pressure on Kongo. Round 2 came around after the adrenaline wore down and figured that he broke his rib by one of kongos&#8217 kicks. This happens in MMA and everyone thinks that Cro-Cop is supposed to just come into UFC and destroy everyone&#8230that just doens&#8217t happen like that all the time. He&#8217s lost the will to really win&#8230I think he just wanted the money&#8230but we&#8217ll see what happens. I say just put him in against Arloski let him destroy arloski&#8230then let him fight slvia and we&#8217ll go from there.

Why kind of an a$$hole attacks someone for being Canadian? Everyone loves Canadians.

maybe you are jealous of this because you are so obviously very easy to hate.

&#8220Nuts&#8221 you&#8217re absolutely right, I agree with you 100%.

I think the ufc and dana white favor wrestlers from the get go. Your are not allowed to knee a oppent when you stop his takedown and he is on the ground which is a big detorent to takedowns. Futhermore all a wrestler has to do is run at the other fighter and pin him against the cage then just elbow the fuck out of him(borring not to mention how hard it is for fans to see through the cage). ON the flip side look at how terrible a lot of ufc fighters have done in a ring Randy courtre knows better than to step into one look at what enson inoue did to him, or chuck liddel. At times i think it should be called the ultimate tackle then hold on the ground elbowig event.

hahaha u white boyz just cant hang the black man is takin overr rampage silva my main dookie kongo u white boys suck cant fight worth a shit yall suck let the real men do the fightin i thought liddell was good my home dookie knocks him out in a minute yo white aint right yall suck

Posted by poop on 2007-09-18 19:39:26

I think the Octagon is only a small part of the equation, add elbows on the ground, add all the other variables the UFC brings and it makes Crocop just another fighter in the UFC HW division, no longer in the elite-class of fighters IMO

Posted by w3stcoast on 2007-09-18 18:53:16

Yeah he will&#8230

Posted by Perdition97 on 2007-09-18 18:27:39

Poor “Nuts.” I would have a witty retort for you, but in your defense, you’re only Canadian.

CroCop is just an excellent example of a fight whose style was successful in a ring but not so much in an octagon. He was great in Pride FC, but I donât think heâll ever be very successful in the UFC.

What&#8217s MMA? What the hell is a high kick? Why am I reading a news story about MMA? Where am I? Oh God&#8230help me!

Who&#8217s Mirko Cro Cop?

Posted by Anonymous on 2007-09-18 15:43:25

A total disappointment? It&#8217s a cage fight. It&#8217s akin to russian roulette at times. What, Kongo is some kind of whimp? Gonzaga, a fairy? These are tough mofo&#8217s. No one is invincible. Cro-cop has nothing to be ashamed of and did nothing disappointing other than disappoint beer guzzling american bovin wwf, reality tv watching idiots.
